Services
I ask all new clients to arrive about 15 minutes before their first scheduled appointment to allow me to read your paperwork before meeting with you.
In our first appointment I will gather more in-depth information on some key areas, e.g., family/relationship history and experience, health history, mental health history, substance use, history of the concern(s) you are experiencing.
It is very important to me that you are given the opportunity to share your experience fully and completely at a pace that works for you.

Sex therapy is similar to psychotherapy and counseling as a process.
It involves conducting a thorough initial assessment where I gather information about key areas including family/relational history, physical health history, mental health history, current functioning and concerns, alcohol and substance use, etc.
In the sex therapy context the initial assessment will also include obtaining a thorough sexual history.
This includes gathering information about your sexual and sexual identity development and experiences over time.

My therapeutic approach is holistic and integrative with a strong emphasis on relational factors.
I also pay attention to social and cultural factors (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, religion, economic issues, sexual orientation, etc.) that impact individuals' experiences and the choices available to them.
I am highly collaborative and encourage clients to take an active role in the therapeutic process.
I have enjoyed working with individuals and couples in Counseling and Psychotherapy for the past 20 plus years.
